Day 25 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Consider Your Age

Lesson 25: Consider your age...

Today’s lesson is to consider one’s age. I am to consider my age in relation to my dreams and how old I think I’ll live. How much time do I think I need, or do I want, and do I have enough time left?

I am 33 years old and I believe I’m only really coming into my “self” now. I didn’t do much in my 20s, though that was based out of my limiting relationship. I have learned to recognise that those events played out how they were supposed to, in order for me to be the person I am today. I think I used to worry about all the opportunity I had missed but I’ve learned that it’s never too late to start a dream. I think a lot of people tend to think that way - “oh I’ve missed my opportunity”, “oh I’m too old to start now” etc etc. I am not sure why we think this way. I see 40+ year olds speaking about how they started working towards their dreams later on in life and being successful. Why are we limiting to ourselves with age?

I believe I have many years to live. I think I will at least get to 75, meaning I have over 40 years to actually do something with my life. 40+ years is a long time if we really think about it. I have a dream to write a book series. I remember loving to write when I was younger but it never really stuck in my teenage years nor 20s. One new year – believe it was 2016, the idea for a book came flooding in, literally out of nowhere. I wasn’t thinking about writing a book series and something was sending me the concept. I haven’t even really started writing it because I need to develop my characters, though I have faith that I will get this done. I’ve had different readers tell me that I will achieve this in the upcoming years, so I know what I need to do to achieve this reality.

Apart from writing, I am trying to remember all my dreams from when I was younger. I know I want to travel the world and I have plenty of time to do that. I want to do more dance classes as it was something I enjoyed in high school, and I am slowly incorporating this into my life. I am learning spiritual work and witchcraft, which was something I was interested in back in high school also, and it’s now the most prominent thing in my life. All I personally have to do is remember… Remember the person I wanted to be and achieve it now. I am not allowing age to limit me in achieving what I am meant to do. It’s part of why I take on these 365 day challenges, to force habit of writing every day so that it flows into my everyday life. And you shouldn’t let your age, limit you either.
